James John Plant (born 3 November 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League Two club Port Vale. He has previously played on loan at Nantwich Town, Salisbury and Yeovil Town.

Early life

James John Plant was born on 3 November 2004 in Werrington, Staffordshire; his grandfather, Ian Powell, ran a food fan selling spit roasted chickens from his blue van in Stoke-on-Trent city centre for 40 years before his retirement in 2023.[5] He played for Werrington Tigers as a small child and had a trial with Crewe Alexandra before he joined Port Vale at under-nine level.[6] His elder brother, Matthew, played non-League football for Abbey Hulton United.[6]

Career

Plant made his senior debut for Port Vale in a 1–0 victory over Stockport County in an EFL Trophy group stage game at Vale Park on 30 August 2022; he came on as an 86th-minute substitute for Tommy McDermott.[7] On 24 September 2022, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Nantwich Town on a work experience loan, having been recommended to joint-manager Ritchie Sutton, who said Plant would bring "energy, enthusiasm, quality and a great attitude" to the "Dabbers" squad.[8][9] Plant made his debut later that day, and was named as man of the match in a 2–0 defeat at Whitby Town.[10] He was praised by "Dabbers" supporters for his "creative playing style and energetic performances".[11] He found the experience tough and one that he learned a lot from.[6] On 31 January 2023, he joined Southern League Premier Division South club Salisbury on a work experience loan, alongside Tommy McDermott.[12] He was named as Player of the Match in each of his first two appearances for Salisbury and scored on his fourth appearance, a 3–0 win at Hanwell Town.[13][14] He was named as the club's Player of the Month for February.[15] He received a career first red-card during a 3–0 victory at Metropolitan Police on 4 March.[16] On 30 March, it was announced that the loan deal had been extended until the end of the 2022–23 season.[17] He made his League One debut for Port Vale on 10 April, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Gavin Massey in a 0–0 draw with Oxford United.[18] He started his first League One game eight days later, impressing alongside Tom Conlon in central midfield in a 2–1 defeat at Ipswich Town after Tom Pett was ruled out due to injury.[6][19] He signed his first professional (two-year) contract in April 2023; David Flitcroft, the club's director of football, said that "his ability, attitude, character and commitment to getting better is outstanding and is now a benchmark for all players who come through the academy".[20] Plant scored his first goal in the EFL in a 3–2 loss at Charlton Athletic on 29 April.[21]

Plant began the 2023–24 season strongly and was teasingly nicknamed "Son of Crosby" by his teammates due to manager Andy Crosby's fulsome praise for his attitude and performances.[22] He signed a new contract in November, before turning 19, to keep him at the club until at least 2027.[23] However, he dislocated his shoulder the following month and was ruled out of action for up to 12 weeks.[24] He made his return in a 3–0 defeat at Derby County on 2 March, where he was played out of position at left-wing-back.[25] He was praised by manager Darren Moore after again being played out of position on 10 April, this time playing at right-back against Ephron Mason-Clark in a 3–0 defeat at Peterborough United. [26]

On 27 September 2024, Plant joined National League side Yeovil Town on loan until January 2025.[27] He provided the assist in a 1–0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge at Huish Park on 5 October, in what was his second game for the Glovers.[28] Manager Mark Cooper said that "he showed real quality today" and was like "gold dust" due to his versatility.[29] He scored two goals in eleven games for the "Glovers" before he sustained a hamstring injury and returned to Vale.[30]

Style of play

Plant is a versatile player who is able to play as a forward, central midfielder, or wing-back.[31] He has a good temperament.[32]
